Greg kinnear
Starring in the movie, 'Flash of Genius' to be released on Oct 3rd, based on a true story set in the 60's, about one man's invention and his turmoil in taking on the giant, that is the US Auto industry.
Jack Layton
As the Canadian Election nears, the Leader of the NDP made an appearance at a community centre in Toronto on Sunday, stating their platform is about putting families first and not corporate tax cuts:
“We’re making it clear with this platform today that our priorities are those of the kitchen table, not just the boardroom table. Canadian families have a clear choice: Mr. Harper’s corporate tax giveaways or New Democrats' investments in the priorities of families,” said Layton.
Other key elements of their platform include: hiring more doctors and nurses, a national children’s nutrition plan, investments in cancer research, and a plan to break Canada’s reliance on carbon with a plan for the environment that will work.
So lets see what else George can get out of him.

Irvine Welsh
Currently promoting his latest book, 'Crime', this controversial Scottish author of 'Trainspotting' will be appearing at the Harbour Festival in Toronto on Wed, Oct 1.
Larry Charles & Bill Maher
Larry Charles, director of Borat and a writer and producer for Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, is teaming up with comedian Bill Maher (HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher) for a new film about God and religion. They traveled throughout the Middle East, interviewing people to try and find humor amongst the tragedy.
This my friends, should be interesting.
Wed, Oct 1
Tony Campolo
This will be the 2nd interview with the Evangelical Baptist Minister, who heads up the Red Letter Christians (primarily working against political right & left-wing Evangelicals as a social issues movement, in focusing on the red texted words of Jesus Christ found in the Bible.)
Am looking forward to this one, for on his previous appearance, he somehow flew completely under my radar & temporarily eased my apprehension on religious philosophy.
Sean Avery
Touted as the "Most Hated Man In The NHL", and to the shock of some, is currently involved in the development of a romantic comedy based on his experiences interning for the fashion magazine Vogue, where he guest edited for Mensvogue.com. Questioned on how much flak he's receiving from hockey players & fans, Avery replied; "I think it's great to be into something that you care about," he said. "But I'm still an athlete who likes to beat the crap out of people."
Phew!

Nice summary Jen! What I can promise is that there will be more hate on for Avery after this interview airs. He knows how to craft and present his 'most hated' persona.
